Ink cartridge HP 952XL Cyan (High-yield) for HP OfficeJet printers, model W3S68A

HP 952XL Cyan (High-yield) ink cartridge is designed for use with compatible HP OfficeJet printers to deliver consistent cyan pigment ink for everyday colour documents, photos and business materials. The high-yield cyan cartridge provides a longer page yield than standard cartridges, helping reduce the frequency of replacements while maintaining reliable colour balance and print sharpness. The cartridge is engineered for straightforward installation and integrates with printer firmware to report ink levels and status.

Integration with OfficeJet printers enables accurate ink-level monitoring and consistent output across print jobs.
